Information

12/48

+Approach 2

You can find this information anytime or anywhere. Im not the only source ofknowledge for you and this information. My role is to be a filter -

Think of the skills you need when you ask: how do I fix my car, or what is the bestcredit card deal for me, or what is the fastest route home for me? Should I rent orbuy? How do I get my image out there so companies will hire me? My connectingflight was cancelled, so what do I do know? Who should I vote for?

13/48

+Approach

Our approach is to provide meaningful engagement which is long-lasting..it all starts with YOU! See whats out there

Find some sites

Try some software

Do some research

Start small

What is the one thing you could do in the next few months to betterengage with the 21st century skills

Collaborate

Dont do it all alone. Plan carefully and ask what others have foundsuccessful

Take a risk Change cannot occur without conflict. Try it and see what happens.

a postcard, where privacy should not be assumed?3. How complete is Googles profile of you?
